Convergence is not new – but the
way consumers interact with
technology is constantly changing.
We believe we are in a new phase of
convergence: the converged lifestyle.
Get ready for some fast technology
and even faster consumer adoption.
Ever since our first Consumers and
Convergence study in 2006, we
have been polling consumers in key
markets around the world to find
out what devices, technologies and
services they are using and how they
are using them.
Not surprisingly, we’ve seen a lot
of change in just 5 years. In 2006,
our questions focused on the use
of landlines, mobile texting, instant
messaging and internet browsing:
smartphones were not widely adopted
by consumers, and tablets did not
exist. Social media was still in its
infancy.
Today, consumers are talking about
how technology enables their lifestyle.
From buying goods online to keeping
up with friends on social networks,
consumers seem to be more and more
reliant on a range of technologies that
perform important – although often
overlapping – tasks.
Our survey demonstrates that
convergence is alive and well in 2011.
Sure, consumers are now faced with
a bewildering array of devices. But
they all seem to increasingly serve one
purpose: to enable consumers to get
what they want, when they want it.
The speed of consumer adoption
also seems to be on the rise. In just
7 years, Facebook signed up more
than 800 million active users; and
in just 14 months Apple sold more
than 25 million iPad®
tablets. But
with rapid adoption comes rapid
change: business models are quickly
evolving for a range of businesses
including advertisers, retailers, content
providers, mobile operators and banks.
Many traditional businesses are facing
significant challenges adapting to
this new world.The banking industry,
for example, was somewhat slow
to adopt online payments and – as a
result – lost their share of this growing
market to companies such as PayPalTM
.
What’s more, banks are now seen as
being somewhat ‘new’ entrants into
the online and mobile markets, and
will need to reassert their security and
privacy leadership in order to build trust
with consumers online.
And while businesses will need to
evolve to meet the changing demands
of consumers, so too will regulators.
New business models often spin off
supportive ecosystems and upstart
competitors that are important to the
continued vitality of the technology
industry. Regulators must ensure that
the rules promote privacy while still
providing the flexibility for companies
to innovate.
Our survey also highlights some key
considerations that seem to drive
consumer purchasing decisions.
For one, there is a growing level of
consumer concern regarding privacy
and security, particularly when using
new services or technologies. Indeed,
the virtue of ‘trust’ may soon become
one of the biggest competitive
advantages for products and services
across almost all industry groups.
But the results also show that
consumers are fixated on price, with
many saying that it trumps all other
considerations when selecting mobile
operators, television options and
internet service providers.
We believe these findings and the
accompanying analysis demonstrates
a continuing – but accelerated – trend
towards greater integration of devices
within the consumer lifestyle and a
rapid evolution of business models for
those that enable them.
We encourage you to contact your
local KPMG member firm to discuss
the implications of these trends on
your business.

Theenablinglandline
•	 Over the past 12 months, around 4 percent of respondents seem
to have eliminated their landlines but more than 80 percent still
believe their landline is important.
•	 Although half (52 percent) of consumers maintain their landline for
an internet connection, and just less than half (47 percent) maintain
one out of habit.
•	 Almost a quarter of all respondents from Europe, the Middle East and
Africa have no landline at all, versus 17 percent inAsia Pacific and 22
percent in theAmericas.  
While some pundits may believe that the traditional landline telephone is
a thing of the past, our data shows that consumers are still committed
to maintaining their landline connections. Globally, more than 80 percent of
respondents indicated that they have a landline, with the highest concentration
found in Asia Pacific (83 percent) and the lowest (76 percent) in Europe, the
Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
That being said, global rates did fall slightly overall (4 percent) from last year
indicating the changing use of landlines in many regions. For example, 52 percent
of respondents reported that they maintained their landline as a means of
accessing the internet, while more than 10 percent also saw their landline as a
channel for new services such as IPTV.

The rate of decline of fixed-
line telecommunications
services is slower than many
expected,” says Malcolm
Alder, a Partner with KPMG
in Australia. ”But a business
case based on habit and the
need for internet connection
is clearly not a long-term
strategy.
Landlines clearly continue
to be relevant for traditional
reasons such as reliability
and security,”says
Carl Geppert, Global
Telecommunications 
Media Advisory Lead. ”But
they are also commonly
seen as the catalyst to new
broadband-based services
such as IPTV and streamed
video services.
Many respondents also seem to hang on to their landline for reasons of comfort: 47
percent said that they kept their landline out of habit, and 45 percent said a landline felt
more reliable.This may represent a massive opportunity for operators that can leverage
this ‘stickiness’ to launch additional services over landlines that drive new revenue
streams and models.
Our data also found that the propensity to maintain a landline depended on the age of the
consumer. Only 72 percent of people aged 16-24 report having a landline, versus about
88 percent of those over 45 years of age.

Thedevicedivide
•	 Eighty-six  percent of consumers prefer to browse the web
on a PC, versus 8 percent on a smartphone and 6 percent on
a tablet.
•	 Tablets are primarily being used to read books (45 percent
of tablet users), conduct social media conversations
(28 percent) and watch streamedTV (26 percent).
Rumors of the personal computer’s demise have been greatly
exaggerated. Indeed, the PC still dominates over all other devices: 88
percent of consumers are most likely to conduct their online shopping on
a PC, 86 percent use their PC for internet browsing, and 84 percent use
their PC for email.
Yet although these numbers indicate a continued vitality of the PC, there
is evidence that its foothold as a preferred device is waning. Since our first
survey in 2006, 20 percent of consumers have moved away from the PC
for accessing news and information, 26 percent have shifted their instant
messaging (IM) or chat activities to other devices (primarily mobile) and 18
percent have forsaken the PC for social networking.
Mobile devices have clearly eaten away into the PC’s domain. Almost
four-in-ten consumers have used their mobile device at retail outlets to
access coupons, where they previously may have downloaded and printed
coupons, and one-in-five consumers have done research or comparison
shopping right in-store, by using their mobile device to scan barcodes.
Another significant area of growth for mobile devices, particularly due to
the web browsing capability of increasingly popular smartphones, has been
in accessing maps and directions. Only 4 percent of respondents to our
Asia seems set to leapfrog the rest of the
world when it comes to the use of new
technologies,” comments Egidio Zarrella,
a partner with KPMG in China’s Clients and
Innovation Practice.“This Asian-led revolution
will have a dramatic impact on the global
market and will largely influence the future
design and sales of new technology products.

While the PC is clearly not dead, there is ample
evidence that consumers are gravitating towards
numerous devices, each with their own benefits and
drawbacks,” suggests Gary Matuszak, KPMG’s Global
Chair ofTechnology, Media andTelecommunications.
“But as technology continues to improve, we will likely
see the PC become relegated to business functions
that run high-functioning tasks.

survey in 2008 had accessed maps on their mobile device versus
25 percent today. Mobile has also started to make headway into the games
segment with almost one-in-five respondents using their mobile for games
and entertainment.
Since the launch of the first Apple iPad®
in April 2010, tablets have
also captured the minds of consumers. In the 18 months between the
introduction of tablets onto the market and the time of our survey,
15 percent of consumers were reading books using these new devices.
Somewhat surprisingly, 6 percent of respondents also said they prefer to
use their tablets for voice communication. And while tablets have seen
increasing adoption rates around the world, nowhere more so than in Asia
Pacific where one-in-ten respondents said they use their tablets to watch
streaming video (versus just 5 percent in other regions).
•	 90 percent of respondents voiced some level of
concern about the security of their personally

As we have seen throughout this survey, security and privacy concerns continue to be
the biggest barrier to the adoption of new business models. In particular, consumers
seem wary about their security and privacy when using devices and interacting with third
parties. Indeed, nine-out-of-ten respondents said they were concerned about the security
of their personally identifiable information (PII) and almost half said that they were ‘very
concerned’ about the theft of their PII.This represents a significant increase in concern over
2010 when only 79 percent said the same.
In response, consumers suggested a number of approaches that organizations could take
to build trust, with three-quarters of respondents saying that better disclosure of measures,
brand reputation and independent audits would help to gain consumer trust.
Somewhat perplexingly, however, 62 percent of consumers also demonstrated that – under
the right circumstances – they are willing to have their online usage tracked by advertisers.
This is also an increase over 2010 when 58 percent of respondents signaled a similar
willingness.
Privacy and security are becoming ever more
important to consumers given the rise of mobile
payments and commerce,” says Carl Geppert.
”Mobile operators will want to promote their security
protocols every bit as much as they do price and
network quality.
While consumers are slowly becoming accustomed
to the negatives of technology such as spam and
viruses, they are also keen to benefit from the
convenience and immediacy that comes with mobile
devices,” notes Sanjaya Krishna, Digital Services
Leader, KPMG in the US.“The company or group of
companies that is able to crack the code of consumer
trust in this emerging marketplace is sure to gain
massive dividends from their online business.
Clearly, this represents a strange paradigm for consumers: increasing concern about
how their PII is being used and secured is tempered by a willingness to have their online
use patterns tracked and analyzed by advertisers.This indicates a significant business
opportunity for organizations that are able to offer their customers greater value by
collecting their personal information in order to tailor their promotions to individual
consumers.
As noted earlier, 56 percent of consumers said that, when it comes to online purchases,
they placed their trust in their financial institution, indicating that banks continue to be
the best placed organization to win consumers’ trust. At the same time, 7 percent said
they trusted their retailers most and 6 percent identified their internet service providers.
Interestingly, this survey also shows that consumers are very comfortable with secure
payment sites such as PayPalTM
, which were deemed to be the most trustworthy by
30 percent of respondents to our survey.

KEY FINDINGS
While many may consider cloud technology to be a rather new innovation, a significant
majority of individuals (65 percent) already store some level of personal information
on the internet, particularly on social networking sites, photo sharing sites and web-based
email services.
In fact, it seems that cloud technology has already embedded itself into the popular psyche
with almost 13 percent of 16-24 year olds saying that they were not aware of ‘web-based
services’ versus just 5 percent of those over 65 years of age.This indicates that, while the
younger generation use cloud technology on a regular basis, they do not see it as being a
unique service offering but rather an embedded part of the internet infrastructure itself.
Cloud has already become
somewhat ubiquitous in the
consumer technology environment,”
says Sanjaya Krishna.“Many
consumers don’t realize how often
they are accessing the cloud for
services like email, applications and
social networking.
•	 Sixty-five percent of consumers store some level of personal information
on a remote server accessible through the internet, or ‘in the cloud’.
•	 A quarter of all respondents said they were concerned about their ability
to retrieve their data from online services.
•	 Nearly two-thirds of consumers suggest they would value the ability
to access their medical information through a mobile device.
Thecloudtakesshape
Those that do not currently use web-based, or cloud, services tended to have a number
of concerns with the technology. Fifty-seven percent said they were concerned about the
security of their data in the cloud and 52 percent said the same about their PII. A third of
respondents also felt that they had no need for cloud services, apparently content with
storing their data and information on local storage devices.
Cloud may gain significant traction as a way to enable eHealth.When asked if they would like
the ability to access their personal medical information on a mobile device, nearly two-thirds
of respondents said yes. However, this sentiment fell significantly in the over 65 age group,
perhaps reflecting the more traditional paternalistic relationship between doctors and patients.

•	 Eighty-six percent of consumers spend time on social
networking every day and more than a quarter say they dedicate
more than 2 hours per day to social networking activities.
•	 PCs continue to be the primary access point for social networking
with 76 percent saying they prefer to conduct these activities on a

to connect with friends, family and brands. Eighty-six percent of the
consumers surveyed said that they actively engage in social networking on
a regular basis - with nearly half (49 percent) of them spending at least one
hour on online social networking every day.

to access social networks from their PC, which may indicate an increased
prevalence towards ‘checking in’ on their friends and family while at

work or school. However, tablets have made significant inroads here: already 7 percent
of consumers said they preferred to conduct their social networking activities on a tablet,
versus 16 percent who gain access through their mobiles.
As a result, almost half of respondents said they have downloaded a social networking
application (app) at some point in the past year; two-thirds of whom have downloaded
more than one app.
However, the influence of social networking may suffer from a level of hype. Based on our
survey, it seems that only about a third of respondents admit that they are influenced in
their purchasing decision by ‘fan pages’ while almost half say that they look to company
websites instead.This may merely indicate consumers’ desire to see the ‘technical
specifications’ of products, more typically found on a company’s web-site rather than on
‘fan pages’ which are predominantly for brand-building.
Integrating messages for social viewing
With consumers increasingly starting to move towards multi-screen viewing of content
(where, for example, one screen is broadcasting a television show, while the other
screen is being used to discuss the show on social media), content owners now have a
new opportunity to amplify their messages to consumers.
Content providers are already starting to work with brands to understand the most
appropriate and impactful way to capture the attention of the ‘social viewer’. A growing
number are looking at ways to generate additional revenue by partnering with brands to
drive content and increased viewership.
Customer data is fast becoming the new ‘gold rush’. For advertisers –
and anyone else that has access to large amounts of customer data – a
new business is burgeoning. According to our survey, nearly two-thirds of
consumers are willing to have their online usage tracked by advertisers, up
from just half when this same question was asked in 2008. But there is a
caveat: consumers expect to gain some value from sharing their data, such as
discounted or free content or services.
Interestingly, consumers are particular about which device they receive
advertising on. Almost half of all respondents said that they were willing to
receive ads on their PCs. But they were much more protective of their mobile
device with just 38 percent saying they prefer ads to be distributed via this
channel.
The consumers’ age also makes a difference in their acceptance of
advertising; more than three-quarters of respondents aged between 16 and
24 years indicated that they were willing to receive advertisements versus
less than half (48 percent) of those over 65 years of age.

KEY FINDINGS

•	 Almost two-thirds of consumers are willing to have their
online usage tracked by advertisers, particularly when
tracking provides a ‘payoff’.
•	 Consumers are 10 percent more likely to accept
advertisements on their personal computers or laptops
than on their mobile devices.
•	 Younger consumers are twice as likely to be willing to
receive advertisements as are consumers over the age of 65.

Collecting data through “privacy walls”
With consumers increasingly willing to be tracked
by advertisers, many companies are now looking for
ways to collect more valuable customer data from
their digital assets.
One approach is to require free registration to
access content. By compelling visitors to complete a
registration form, companies can collect a wealth of
demographic information and preferences. Layering
this information over online tracking adds exponential
value to the data.
Rather than a paywall, where companies demand
subscription fees or one-off payments in return
for content, introducing a “privacy wall” trades a
consumer’s online behavior patterns and data for free
or lower cost content.
Companies following this strategy must ensure that
the content provided behind these “privacy walls” is
compelling. Otherwise, consumers will quickly feel
they are being exploited for their personal data.
Those companies that can accurately track and manage their
customer information are increasingly looking to monetize their data
assets by sharing their findings with others,” says TudorAw, Head of
Technology, KPMG in the UK. ”It will be interesting to see what the
bigger players like Facebook and Amazon will do with the masses of
customer information at their disposal.
It is worth noting that consumer acceptance of advertising
overall – while still buoyant – dropped two percent over last
year for both PCs and mobile devices.
As consumers show more willingness to have their
online activity tracked, advertisers will start to undergo
a fundamental shift from ‘blast’ advertising campaigns
towards more personalized and value-added promotions.
More importantly, it opens a new revenue stream for
any company that can ‘own’ their customers’ data and
successfully monetize it in the market (see the privacy wall
sidebar).

KEY FINDINGS
•	 Globally, consumers are more likely to purchase flights or
vacations, electronics, or physical CDs, DVDs, books and
video games online than in a store.
•	 Many consumers prefer to see and feel luxury goods and
groceries before buying, with 41 percent of respondents
unlikely to purchase food online, and 47 percent preferring to
purchase luxury goods in person.
•	 Thirty-eight percent of respondents used their mobile
device at retail outlets to access coupons, and one in five
had scanned a product barcode to compare prices or for
more information.
Is the weekly trip to the store about to become a thing of the past? For some retailers, the
answer seems to be a resounding ‘yes’. Across every category of goods, the majority of
respondents said they preferred to purchase items online rather than at a physical outlet.
Almost 70 percent of consumers told us that they were most likely to buy flights and vacations
online and 65 percent said the same about physical CDs, DVDs, books and video games.
But this hardly spells the demise of the retail outlet, particularly for grocery and luxury goods
retailers. Almost half of all respondents said they were not likely to purchase luxury goods
online and four-in-ten consumers still seem to shun online grocery shopping.These trends are
particularly evident in the Americas where more than three-quarters of respondents said they
would book a flight online, but only 21 percent said they were likely to buy groceries without
visiting the store. Clearly, consumers are more likely to want to personally evaluate the quality
or authenticity of some products more than others. For these products, retailers will need to
continue to offer them in stores as they strive to build consumers’ confidence and trust in their
online offerings.
For retailers
The integration of the various channels is
becoming increasingly important to retailers
as they begin to see many of their customers
move to online purchasing”, says Mark Larson,
KPMG’s Global Chair of Retail.

The increasing use of
smartphones and tablets by
co
ch
un
nsumers will represent a sea-
ange for retailers who need to
derstand the opportunities and
risks that mobile devices might
present,” adds Mark Larson.
Asian consumers – led by China –
are doing more of their purchasing
online,” notes Egidio Zarrella.
“Asia has also seen exponential
growth in the use of mobile
devices for both purchases and
payments.
Even within the store, the customer experience is rapidly changing. More
than a third of consumers surveyed use their mobile devices to store, access
and redeem coupons for in-store purchases, and retailers can expect this
trend to increase. More than one in five scanned a product barcode or quick
response (QR) code to obtain more information about the specific product
or campaign. So while display ads and flyers are still an important part of
the retail promotional mix, mobile innovations are also rapidly capturing the
imagination – and attention – of consumers. Retailers are also investing more
in location-based marketing, so that coupons can be sent to a consumer’s
mobile device when they are in the proximity of the retailer’s store.

For content providers
When it comes to selling content online, consumers
seem largely unwilling to pay up. Seventy-three percent
said they do not pay for any content on any website they
visit, and 56 percent said they would look elsewhere rather
than pay for content. Of those that do pay for online content,
almost half seem willing to pay for books, while 46 percent
would pay for video and 44 percent for music.
Information providers, however, may face more difficulties in
converting their content into revenues. Only 30 percent said
they would pay for business news, while less than one-in-five
indicated that they would be willing to pay for international or
national news, travel information or sports news.
Interestingly, when asked why they are willing to pay for
online content, 44 percent said that they ended up paying
once a free trial lapsed, proving that many of the traditional
techniques for gaining subscribers are valuable in the online
world as well. More than half (55 percent) also said that they
would pay if they believed the quality of the content was
better online.
And while mobile apps seem to be a runaway success, more
than six-in-ten consumers said they were more likely to pay
for content on their PC or laptop and only one-in-ten said they
would pay for content on a tablet. This figure may rise as
tablets get more widespread in the market.
Of course, online subscribers also offer content providers
with a new revenue stream in the form of customer data. In
much the same way as advertisers (see pages 14/15), this rich
source of data can often be collected and shared with other
organizations that rely on trending and demographic data. A
number of content providers are already looking at approaches
for monetizing their ‘digital residue’ (see call out box on page
19) to drive new sources of revenue.
Key Findings
•	 Only 6 percent of consumers are willing to pay
for full access to a website, a significant drop
from 16 percent in 2010.
•	 Almost three-quarters of respondents currently
do not pay for any of the online content that they
access.
•	 If faced with a new ‘pay wall’, less than half of
consumers say they would be willing to pay for
continued access to content.

Recycling digital residue
Whereas traditional data collection largely relies on ‘opt in’ tracking of customer activity, the collection of
digital residue (analytic data collected on visitors to a website) often happens in the background and is
rarely conducted with consent.
Clearly, this strategy opens businesses and consumers up to a range of new challenges.Time and again
through this survey, consumers have indicated a significant concern about the unapproved use of their
personal data. For companies, taking stewardship of the data that makes up the digital residue requires
serious planning and consideration; the collection and sale of digital residue has been the subject of
much media scrutiny and legislative action in recent months.
As a result, companies are exploring new approaches to collecting and using digital residue.
MicroStrategy’s Gateway product, for example, gives brands direct access to consumers’ social graph
on Facebook, allowing brands to personalize their pitches and conduct rich analytics on consumer
preferences and trends.
Building a strong and sustainable revenue
stream continues to be the biggest challenge
for most content providers,” believes Paul
Wissmann, Head of Media, KPMG in the US.
“There are a number of revenue models being
tested in the market but – ultimately – it is the
consumer that will decide what they are willing
to pay for and when.

For mobile operators
When it comes to consumer selection of mobile
operators, it seems that the availability of popular
devices and access to exclusive content mean less to
consumers than the ‘basics’: coverage, service and price.
The quality of an operator’s coverage (cited by 80 percent
of respondents), the level of customer service (78 percent)
and price (77 percent) were – almost universally – identified
as the most important factors. Perhaps surprisingly, less

KEY FINDINGS
•	 When selecting a mobile operator, consumers
were most influenced by the operator’s coverage
(80 percent), quality of customer service (78
percent), and price (77 percent), rather than the
availability of a specific device (54 percent).
•	 While 88 percent of respondents reported
downloading a mobile application (app) to their
mobile device, 41 percent did not pay for any
of them and 39 percent had paid for less than a
quarter.
•	 Almost half of all respondents cited a very high
level of concern regarding security (48 percent)
and privacy (48 percent).

Proving privacy credentials
The vast majority of consumers are concerned about their data getting into the wrong hands. Around 90
percent of respondents indicated that they were either somewhat or very concerned about the potential for
their credit card information to be intercepted from their mobile phone and an equal number voiced some
level of concern about the threat of unauthorized parties accessing their personally identifiable information
when using their mobile devices.
But by developing, deploying and promoting robust security and privacy controls, organizations can
instead build trust with consumers so as to encourage more sharing and allow more tailored service.
From our experience, customers tend to have greater trust for organizations that meet or exceed
regulations.This might include compliance to the EU Cookie Directive, or certification against
international standards like ISO27001. Regardless, mobile service providers that can prove their
credentials will ultimately gain more trust from customers and – if security is tightly managed –
enhance their online reputations.
than half of all respondents suggested that the opportunity to bundle or unbundle services
(45 percent) was an important factor when changing mobile service providers. For mobile
businesses the message seems clear: unique content may differentiate your service, but it
will not drive customer acquisition in the same way that price will.
And while many mobile service providers are using apps to drive revenue and customer
retention, it seems most customers are simply not willing to pay for them.There is no
doubt that consumers love apps: almost nine-in-ten report having downloaded at least one
to their mobile device recently. But getting consumers to pay for the apps is anything but
simple: 41 percent say they have never paid for an app (up from 36 percent in 2010) and a
similar number (39 percent) say they paid for only one-in-four.
However, it is also clear from evidence in the market that – when offered the right app at
the right price – consumers are willing to pay. Rovio’s Angry Birds®
recently surpassed
the 500 million download mark.
With new regulation and
industry standards now
coming to the fore, mobile
operators will need to redefine
their future business models,”
says Carl Geppert. ”It is no
longer a case of ‘if you build
it they will come’.Today it
is a matter of ‘if you build it
who will come’ and – more
importantly – who will pay?

For banks
In our first Consumers and Convergence survey in 2006,
the majority of respondents indicated that they did not
have access to mobile banking services and – even if
they did – were reluctant to utilize such a service.This has
changed dramatically over the last 5 years, and now
62 percent of respondents are aware that their bank offers
mobile banking services.What’s more, more than half of
respondents to our survey indicated that they had used
mobile banking services within the past 6 months, proving
that consumers are very open to using their mobile devices
to conduct every-day transactions.
This is particularly true in developing world countries where
vast portions of the population are ‘unbanked’ and have
adopted mobile payments as a quick and reliable way to
transfer money across geographies. In Africa, for example,
Safaricom took advantage of rapid mobile adoption rates
and a strong demand for safer, more convenient ways to
send remittances by launching M-Pesa, a mobile payment
service. By the start of 2011, M-Pesa had signed up more
than 8 million customers in Kenya, equivalent to 40 percent
of the adult population.
One of the biggest barriers to the broader adoption of mobile
banking seems to be concerns over security and privacy. Of
the respondents who had not used mobile banking, almost
half (48 percent) cited this as a barrier to their own personal
adoption of mobile banking.This echoes the findings of a
recent KPMG survey of banking executives (The Evolution of
Mobile Payments) where 71 percent said that security was a
leading concern when developing their mobile service.
Trust also continues to be a major challenge for the financial
services industry.When asked who they trust the most with
their data, a majority (56 percent) of respondents identified
their banks, but 30 percent said they trust secure payment
sites such as PayPalTM
rather than their traditional financial
service provider.
While many banks have launched mobile banking services, few are ready for
the change that mobile payments will bring,” says David Sayer, Global Head
of Retail Banking at KPMG. ”Banks will need to work with retailers, mobile
operators and technology companies to develop a mobile payment solution to
meet the growing demand of consumers.
KEY FINDINGS
•	 In 2011, more than half of all respondents said
they had used some form of mobile banking in
the past 6 months, an increase from around 40
percent in 2010 and just under 20 percent in 2008.
•	 Thirty-eight percent were unaware that their
bank provided mobile banking services.
•	 Secure payment sites such as PayPalTM
are a more
preferred method of online payment than credit
cards for consumers in Europe and the Middle East.

Interestingly, while security and privacy was – by far – the most-often cited reason for not
using mobile banking in 2010, this year’s survey indicated that consumer behavior might
also be impacted by device preference rather than security: more than half of those who do
not use mobile banking say that they prefer to conduct their banking on their PC rather than
mobile device. However, this data may also indicate that consumers might continue to pay
their bills and conduct transfers on their PC, yet prefer to use their mobile devices for retail or
other ‘on-the-go’ transactions.
One should anticipate that – in our next Consumers and Convergence report – new
technologies will be introduced that will further revolutionize the banking and payments
industry. Near Field Communications (NFC) capabilities – a technology that enables
contactless payments through mobile devices – are widely anticipated to be embedded
in future smartphone releases, and m-Wallet initiatives have already been introduced by
both traditional and non-traditional players alike. Clearly, much change is still ahead for the
banking industry.
Trust is a significant issue for banks as they move
into the digital world,” says David Sayer. ”A growing
number of banks are looking to social media to
enhance their brand reputations and build stronger
relationships with their customers.
Online banking becomes more secure
According to a recent study by Financial Fraud Action UK, the incidence of online banking
fraud in the UK has significantly dropped in the past 2 years. Online fraud in the UK fell by
36 percent in 2010, and dropped a further 32 percent in the first half of 2011.
This shows that banks have made significant progress in combating the risks
associated with online banking and – if they are able to translate these gains into the
mobile world – should be well placed to tackle mobile banking fraud as well.
Of course, there is anecdotal evidence showing that part of this reduction may also be
a result of the changing face of cyber-crime. Many of the more sophisticated organized
crime syndicates seem to have set their sights on companies that hold large volumes
of personal data and payment credentials, but do not maintain the same rigorous
security of most banks.

For television
A growing number of consumers seem ready to jettison their traditional television services. Already, one-
in-ten respondents told us that they do not currently subscribe to aTV service at home, and 52 percent
said that they already either download content online for viewing later or access their favorite television
shows through internet streaming services.This represents a great opportunity for programmers that are
able to deliver video to their customers across a variety of mediums and devices.
Our survey indicates that consumers are increasingly happy with the quality of online video content. In
our survey in 2010, slightly more than 35 percent of respondents who were considering cutting their
TV service cited the quality of internet content as the prime motivator; today, more than 60 percent say
the same. Clearly, consumers have now experienced the improving quality of internet video options
and – if offered the opportunity to gain greater convenience, price or quality – will likely move away from
traditional television services in the future.
As a case in point, 16 percent of those who currently haveTV services at home said that they planned to
terminate their subscription within the next year.
The emergence of alternatives to television further
highlights consumers’ desire to access the content they
want, when they want it, on their choice of devices,”
comments Carl Geppert. ”This signals a significant shift in
consumer behavior that may have far-reaching implications
for video service providers.
Key Findings
•	 Sixteen percent of respondents that currently pay for television
subscriptions say they will cancel their subscriptions within the
next twelve months, with the most significant numbers in India
and China.
•	 More than 60 percent of consumers say they are happy with the
quality of the video content they receive on the internet, up from
around 35 percent in 2010.
•	 Consumers are starting to see more value from their  TV
subscriptions, with only 40 percent citing value as a reason
for discontinuing services versus more than 50 percent twelve
months ago.

With more consumers
starting to watchTV through
non-traditional channels,
content-providers will need
to rethink their business
models,” says Carl Geppert.
”We will likely see much
more experimentation with
ad-supported models such as
brand-ready content and on-air
product placements.
Pricing is clearly a driver in the move from cable
subscriptions. But the survey shows that the majority of
consumers may not be willing to pay for videos or programs
accessed online either. Only 31 percent of respondents say
they pay for videos they download for later viewing, and 41
percent pay for access to video streamed on the internet.
Juxtaposed against the 84 percent that say they pay for their
cableTV service, it becomes clear that driving revenues
from online video will requireTV companies to rethink their
business models.
There is every indication that this trend will continue as
seamless internet content viewing becomes a reality and
content aggregation and navigation is simplified. However,
pricing will also be a concern as these new business models
develop.To maintain their dominance, existing providers will
need to find ways to differentiate themselves, likely based
on quality of content, ease of use and price.

Tenkeytakeawaysforbusinesses
There should be no doubt that technology is rapidly reforming the way businesses
interact with their customers.Throughout our report, we have identified trends and
shifts in consumer preferences that are already changing the very fundamentals of
revenue creation and generating new opportunities for businesses to expand their
footprint and drive exponential growth.
At the same time, traditional business models – particularly in the music, publishing,
advertising and broadcast television sectors – are fast evolving. Any business that is not
already preparing for significant change will almost certainly find the next few years to
be challenging, to say the least.
So how will businesses adapt to the constantly changing environment? Based on our
experience and findings in this report, we have identified ten key takeaways that will
be critical to businesses across every sector and geography.
1. Privacy and trust:
Organizations engaging with customers over digital channels must
focus on building trust and ensuring the security and privacy of their
customers’ personal data. Trust will soon become the most significant
differentiator for online businesses.
2. Willingness to pay:
Across all sectors, customers are looking for ways to reduce
the cost of their technology without jeopardizing quality. From
television service providers to mobile operators and ISPs,
businesses will need to rethink their revenue models and price
points.
3. Impact of mobile devices:
From mobile coupons to location-based advertising, mobile devices
offer a wealth of new opportunities to businesses. Far from simply
‘optimizing’ web assets for the mobile platform, businesses will need to
rethink the way they interact with their customers.
4. Value of data:
Ascustomersincreasinglystarttoexpectcustomizedservices,businesses
willfocusmoreandmoreonidentifying,capturingandanalyzingcustomer
datatogaingreaterinsightintotheirpreferencesanddemands.The
challengewillbeinfindingtherightpricetobothappealtocustomersand
achieveprofitability.
5. Owning the customer:
As more technologies converge, businesses are fighting to decide
who ‘owns’ the customer (and their data). The issue is particularly
fraught in the banking and retail sectors, where businesses hope to
establish themselves as a conduit to a range of other services.
I am astonished when I see that data
privacy and security is not only the
most critical issue among consumers
worldwide, but that year over year those
concerns increase,” says TudorAw.
“This is a key issue that should have
been addressed by now.

The pace of change is quickening. Emerging technologies,
shifting customer demands, evolving regulations and new
revenue streams are all bursting onto the business scene
at an astounding speed. KPMG firms understand the
complexities of change.We work closely with business
leaders, government agencies and technology providers
to identify and develop new approaches to business that
help our clients cut through the complexity of the change
around them. And with hands-on experience across multiple
industries and deep insight into consumer trends, we know
what it takes to thrive in this rapidly changing and highly
volatile environment.
We encourage you to contact your local member firm or the
authors of this study to learn more about KPMG firms’ service
offerings and experience.
6. Multi-channel convergence:
Many consumer-facing businesses are putting increased focus on
integrating their various channels to create a consistent and compelling
brand presence across multiple mediums. Multi-screen viewing will
offer new opportunities to converge messaging for businesses.
7. Mobile payments:
The introduction of mobile payments will fundamentally redraw the
relationship between banks, retailers, telecom providers and device
manufacturers. Adoption by retailers and banks will only increase as
more customers demand the convenience of mobile payments.
8. Social media:
There is ample evidence that businesses utilizing social media to
communicate with customers are building stronger, more trusting
relationships. With consumer use outpacing business use, many
organizations will need to play catch-up if they hope to meet the
expectations of their consumers.
9. Online viewing:
The move towards viewing video content online is changing
the business model not only for content providers, but also for
advertisers and technology companies. Businesses operating in this
arena would be wise to rethink their mix of traditional versus online
offerings.
10. Meeting customer demand:
The converged lifestyle has empowered consumers who are increasingly
vocal about their preferences and demands. Businesses that are able to
gauge and respond to this evolving consumer relationship will ultimately
build stronger relationships and gain critical trust with their customers.

Methodology
This survey was conducted in the summer of 2011 and included 9,600
consumers across 31 countries. All surveys were conducted online,
except in Nigeria and Saudi Arabia where telephone interviews were
conducted. All respondents had to own either a laptop/notebook
computer, tablet computer, smartphone or mobile phone. Data was
weighted against mobile phone subscribers in each country to provide a
more relevant population sample. Results have been compared across
regions and age groups, and to prior year surveys where applicable.

Get ready for some fast technology and even faster consumer adoption. Ever since our first Consumers and Convergence study in 2006, we have been polling consumers in key markets around the world to find out what devices, technologies and services they are using and how they are using them. Not surprisingly, we’ve seen a lot of change in just 5 years. In 2006, our questions focused on the use of landlines, mobile texting, instant messaging and internet browsing: smartphones were not widely adopted by consumers, and tablets did not exist. Social media was still in its infancy. Today, consumers are talking about how technology enables their lifestyle. From buying goods online to keeping up with friends on social networks, consumers seem to be more and more reliant on a range of technologies that perform important – although often overlapping – tasks. Our survey demonstrates that convergence is alive and well in 2011. Sure, consumers are now faced with a bewildering array of devices. But they all seem to increasingly serve one purpose: to enable consumers to get what they want, when they want it. The speed of consumer adoption also seems to be on the rise. In just 7 years, Facebook signed up more than 800 million active users; and in just 14 months Apple sold more than 25 million iPad® tablets. But with rapid adoption comes rapid change: business models are quickly evolving for a range of businesses including advertisers, retailers, content providers, mobile operators and banks. Many traditional businesses are facing significant challenges adapting to this new world.The banking industry, for example, was somewhat slow to adopt online payments and – as a result – lost their share of this growing market to companies such as PayPalTM . What’s more, banks are now seen as being somewhat ‘new’ entrants into the online and mobile markets, and will need to reassert their security and privacy leadership in order to build trust with consumers online. And while businesses will need to evolve to meet the changing demands of consumers, so too will regulators. New business models often spin off supportive ecosystems and upstart competitors that are important to the continued vitality of the technology industry. Regulators must ensure that the rules promote privacy while still providing the flexibility for companies to innovate. Our survey also highlights some key considerations that seem to drive consumer purchasing decisions. For one, there is a growing level of consumer concern regarding privacy and security, particularly when using new services or technologies. Indeed, the virtue of ‘trust’ may soon become one of the biggest competitive advantages for products and services across almost all industry groups. But the results also show that consumers are fixated on price, with many saying that it trumps all other considerations when selecting mobile operators, television options and internet service providers. We believe these findings and the accompanying analysis demonstrates a continuing – but accelerated – trend towards greater integration of devices within the consumer lifestyle and a rapid evolution of business models for those that enable them. We encourage you to contact your local KPMG member firm to discuss the implications of these trends on your business.

  • 6. Theenablinglandline • Over the past 12 months, around 4 percent of respondents seem to have eliminated their landlines but more than 80 percent still believe their landline is important. • Although half (52 percent) of consumers maintain their landline for an internet connection, and just less than half (47 percent) maintain one out of habit. • Almost a quarter of all respondents from Europe, the Middle East and Africa have no landline at all, versus 17 percent inAsia Pacific and 22 percent in theAmericas. While some pundits may believe that the traditional landline telephone is a thing of the past, our data shows that consumers are still committed to maintaining their landline connections. Globally, more than 80 percent of respondents indicated that they have a landline, with the highest concentration found in Asia Pacific (83 percent) and the lowest (76 percent) in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). That being said, global rates did fall slightly overall (4 percent) from last year indicating the changing use of landlines in many regions. For example, 52 percent of respondents reported that they maintained their landline as a means of accessing the internet, while more than 10 percent also saw their landline as a channel for new services such as IPTV.

Landlines clearly continue to be relevant for traditional reasons such as reliability and security,”says Carl Geppert, Global Telecommunications Media Advisory Lead. ”But they are also commonly seen as the catalyst to new broadband-based services such as IPTV and streamed video services. Many respondents also seem to hang on to their landline for reasons of comfort: 47 percent said that they kept their landline out of habit, and 45 percent said a landline felt more reliable.This may represent a massive opportunity for operators that can leverage this ‘stickiness’ to launch additional services over landlines that drive new revenue streams and models. Our data also found that the propensity to maintain a landline depended on the age of the consumer. Only 72 percent of people aged 16-24 report having a landline, versus about 88 percent of those over 45 years of age.

  • 8. Thedevicedivide • Eighty-six percent of consumers prefer to browse the web on a PC, versus 8 percent on a smartphone and 6 percent on a tablet. • Tablets are primarily being used to read books (45 percent of tablet users), conduct social media conversations (28 percent) and watch streamedTV (26 percent). Rumors of the personal computer’s demise have been greatly exaggerated. Indeed, the PC still dominates over all other devices: 88 percent of consumers are most likely to conduct their online shopping on a PC, 86 percent use their PC for internet browsing, and 84 percent use their PC for email. Yet although these numbers indicate a continued vitality of the PC, there is evidence that its foothold as a preferred device is waning. Since our first survey in 2006, 20 percent of consumers have moved away from the PC for accessing news and information, 26 percent have shifted their instant messaging (IM) or chat activities to other devices (primarily mobile) and 18 percent have forsaken the PC for social networking. Mobile devices have clearly eaten away into the PC’s domain. Almost four-in-ten consumers have used their mobile device at retail outlets to access coupons, where they previously may have downloaded and printed coupons, and one-in-five consumers have done research or comparison shopping right in-store, by using their mobile device to scan barcodes. Another significant area of growth for mobile devices, particularly due to the web browsing capability of increasingly popular smartphones, has been in accessing maps and directions. Only 4 percent of respondents to our Asia seems set to leapfrog the rest of the world when it comes to the use of new technologies,” comments Egidio Zarrella, a partner with KPMG in China’s Clients and Innovation Practice.“This Asian-led revolution will have a dramatic impact on the global market and will largely influence the future design and sales of new technology products.

Mobile has also started to make headway into the games segment with almost one-in-five respondents using their mobile for games and entertainment. Since the launch of the first Apple iPad® in April 2010, tablets have also captured the minds of consumers. In the 18 months between the introduction of tablets onto the market and the time of our survey, 15 percent of consumers were reading books using these new devices. Somewhat surprisingly, 6 percent of respondents also said they prefer to use their tablets for voice communication. And while tablets have seen increasing adoption rates around the world, nowhere more so than in Asia Pacific where one-in-ten respondents said they use their tablets to watch streaming video (versus just 5 percent in other regions).

  • 11. As we have seen throughout this survey, security and privacy concerns continue to be the biggest barrier to the adoption of new business models. In particular, consumers seem wary about their security and privacy when using devices and interacting with third parties. Indeed, nine-out-of-ten respondents said they were concerned about the security of their personally identifiable information (PII) and almost half said that they were ‘very concerned’ about the theft of their PII.This represents a significant increase in concern over 2010 when only 79 percent said the same. In response, consumers suggested a number of approaches that organizations could take to build trust, with three-quarters of respondents saying that better disclosure of measures, brand reputation and independent audits would help to gain consumer trust. Somewhat perplexingly, however, 62 percent of consumers also demonstrated that – under the right circumstances – they are willing to have their online usage tracked by advertisers. This is also an increase over 2010 when 58 percent of respondents signaled a similar willingness. Privacy and security are becoming ever more important to consumers given the rise of mobile payments and commerce,” says Carl Geppert. ”Mobile operators will want to promote their security protocols every bit as much as they do price and network quality. While consumers are slowly becoming accustomed to the negatives of technology such as spam and viruses, they are also keen to benefit from the convenience and immediacy that comes with mobile devices,” notes Sanjaya Krishna, Digital Services Leader, KPMG in the US.“The company or group of companies that is able to crack the code of consumer trust in this emerging marketplace is sure to gain massive dividends from their online business. Clearly, this represents a strange paradigm for consumers: increasing concern about how their PII is being used and secured is tempered by a willingness to have their online use patterns tracked and analyzed by advertisers.This indicates a significant business opportunity for organizations that are able to offer their customers greater value by collecting their personal information in order to tailor their promotions to individual consumers. As noted earlier, 56 percent of consumers said that, when it comes to online purchases, they placed their trust in their financial institution, indicating that banks continue to be the best placed organization to win consumers’ trust. At the same time, 7 percent said they trusted their retailers most and 6 percent identified their internet service providers. Interestingly, this survey also shows that consumers are very comfortable with secure payment sites such as PayPalTM , which were deemed to be the most trustworthy by 30 percent of respondents to our survey.

  • 12. KEY FINDINGS While many may consider cloud technology to be a rather new innovation, a significant majority of individuals (65 percent) already store some level of personal information on the internet, particularly on social networking sites, photo sharing sites and web-based email services. In fact, it seems that cloud technology has already embedded itself into the popular psyche with almost 13 percent of 16-24 year olds saying that they were not aware of ‘web-based services’ versus just 5 percent of those over 65 years of age.This indicates that, while the younger generation use cloud technology on a regular basis, they do not see it as being a unique service offering but rather an embedded part of the internet infrastructure itself. Cloud has already become somewhat ubiquitous in the consumer technology environment,” says Sanjaya Krishna.“Many consumers don’t realize how often they are accessing the cloud for services like email, applications and social networking. • Sixty-five percent of consumers store some level of personal information on a remote server accessible through the internet, or ‘in the cloud’. • A quarter of all respondents said they were concerned about their ability to retrieve their data from online services. • Nearly two-thirds of consumers suggest they would value the ability to access their medical information through a mobile device. Thecloudtakesshape Those that do not currently use web-based, or cloud, services tended to have a number of concerns with the technology. Fifty-seven percent said they were concerned about the security of their data in the cloud and 52 percent said the same about their PII. A third of respondents also felt that they had no need for cloud services, apparently content with storing their data and information on local storage devices. Cloud may gain significant traction as a way to enable eHealth.When asked if they would like the ability to access their personal medical information on a mobile device, nearly two-thirds of respondents said yes. However, this sentiment fell significantly in the over 65 age group, perhaps reflecting the more traditional paternalistic relationship between doctors and patients.  10 | T H E C O N V E R G E D L I F E S T Y L E © 2011 KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity.

Consumers are ahead of business by a breathtaking distance in social media,” says MalcolmAlder, Partner with KPMG in Australia. ”Too many brands are absent from the billions of hours of focused, influential time their customers spend in social media.

However, tablets have made significant inroads here: already 7 percent of consumers said they preferred to conduct their social networking activities on a tablet, versus 16 percent who gain access through their mobiles. As a result, almost half of respondents said they have downloaded a social networking application (app) at some point in the past year; two-thirds of whom have downloaded more than one app. However, the influence of social networking may suffer from a level of hype. Based on our survey, it seems that only about a third of respondents admit that they are influenced in their purchasing decision by ‘fan pages’ while almost half say that they look to company websites instead.This may merely indicate consumers’ desire to see the ‘technical specifications’ of products, more typically found on a company’s web-site rather than on ‘fan pages’ which are predominantly for brand-building. Integrating messages for social viewing With consumers increasingly starting to move towards multi-screen viewing of content (where, for example, one screen is broadcasting a television show, while the other screen is being used to discuss the show on social media), content owners now have a new opportunity to amplify their messages to consumers. Content providers are already starting to work with brands to understand the most appropriate and impactful way to capture the attention of the ‘social viewer’. A growing number are looking at ways to generate additional revenue by partnering with brands to drive content and increased viewership.
  • 16. Customer data is fast becoming the new ‘gold rush’. For advertisers – and anyone else that has access to large amounts of customer data – a new business is burgeoning. According to our survey, nearly two-thirds of consumers are willing to have their online usage tracked by advertisers, up from just half when this same question was asked in 2008. But there is a caveat: consumers expect to gain some value from sharing their data, such as discounted or free content or services. Interestingly, consumers are particular about which device they receive advertising on. Almost half of all respondents said that they were willing to receive ads on their PCs. But they were much more protective of their mobile device with just 38 percent saying they prefer ads to be distributed via this channel. The consumers’ age also makes a difference in their acceptance of advertising; more than three-quarters of respondents aged between 16 and 24 years indicated that they were willing to receive advertisements versus less than half (48 percent) of those over 65 years of age. For advertisers KEY FINDINGS Thefutureofcommerce • Almost two-thirds of consumers are willing to have their online usage tracked by advertisers, particularly when tracking provides a ‘payoff’. • Consumers are 10 percent more likely to accept advertisements on their personal computers or laptops than on their mobile devices. • Younger consumers are twice as likely to be willing to receive advertisements as are consumers over the age of 65. © 2011 KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity.

One approach is to require free registration to access content. By compelling visitors to complete a registration form, companies can collect a wealth of demographic information and preferences. Layering this information over online tracking adds exponential value to the data. Rather than a paywall, where companies demand subscription fees or one-off payments in return for content, introducing a “privacy wall” trades a consumer’s online behavior patterns and data for free or lower cost content. Companies following this strategy must ensure that the content provided behind these “privacy walls” is compelling. Otherwise, consumers will quickly feel they are being exploited for their personal data. Those companies that can accurately track and manage their customer information are increasingly looking to monetize their data assets by sharing their findings with others,” says TudorAw, Head of Technology, KPMG in the UK. ”It will be interesting to see what the bigger players like Facebook and Amazon will do with the masses of customer information at their disposal. It is worth noting that consumer acceptance of advertising overall – while still buoyant – dropped two percent over last year for both PCs and mobile devices. As consumers show more willingness to have their online activity tracked, advertisers will start to undergo a fundamental shift from ‘blast’ advertising campaigns towards more personalized and value-added promotions. More importantly, it opens a new revenue stream for any company that can ‘own’ their customers’ data and successfully monetize it in the market (see the privacy wall sidebar).

  • 18. KEY FINDINGS • Globally, consumers are more likely to purchase flights or vacations, electronics, or physical CDs, DVDs, books and video games online than in a store. • Many consumers prefer to see and feel luxury goods and groceries before buying, with 41 percent of respondents unlikely to purchase food online, and 47 percent preferring to purchase luxury goods in person. • Thirty-eight percent of respondents used their mobile device at retail outlets to access coupons, and one in five had scanned a product barcode to compare prices or for more information. Is the weekly trip to the store about to become a thing of the past? For some retailers, the answer seems to be a resounding ‘yes’. Across every category of goods, the majority of respondents said they preferred to purchase items online rather than at a physical outlet. Almost 70 percent of consumers told us that they were most likely to buy flights and vacations online and 65 percent said the same about physical CDs, DVDs, books and video games. But this hardly spells the demise of the retail outlet, particularly for grocery and luxury goods retailers. Almost half of all respondents said they were not likely to purchase luxury goods online and four-in-ten consumers still seem to shun online grocery shopping.These trends are particularly evident in the Americas where more than three-quarters of respondents said they would book a flight online, but only 21 percent said they were likely to buy groceries without visiting the store. Clearly, consumers are more likely to want to personally evaluate the quality or authenticity of some products more than others. For these products, retailers will need to continue to offer them in stores as they strive to build consumers’ confidence and trust in their online offerings. For retailers The integration of the various channels is becoming increasingly important to retailers as they begin to see many of their customers move to online purchasing”, says Mark Larson, KPMG’s Global Chair of Retail.

  • 19. The increasing use of smartphones and tablets by co ch un nsumers will represent a sea- ange for retailers who need to derstand the opportunities and risks that mobile devices might present,” adds Mark Larson. Asian consumers – led by China – are doing more of their purchasing online,” notes Egidio Zarrella. “Asia has also seen exponential growth in the use of mobile devices for both purchases and payments. Even within the store, the customer experience is rapidly changing. More than a third of consumers surveyed use their mobile devices to store, access and redeem coupons for in-store purchases, and retailers can expect this trend to increase. More than one in five scanned a product barcode or quick response (QR) code to obtain more information about the specific product or campaign. So while display ads and flyers are still an important part of the retail promotional mix, mobile innovations are also rapidly capturing the imagination – and attention – of consumers. Retailers are also investing more in location-based marketing, so that coupons can be sent to a consumer’s mobile device when they are in the proximity of the retailer’s store.

  • 20. Thefutureofcommerce For content providers When it comes to selling content online, consumers seem largely unwilling to pay up. Seventy-three percent said they do not pay for any content on any website they visit, and 56 percent said they would look elsewhere rather than pay for content. Of those that do pay for online content, almost half seem willing to pay for books, while 46 percent would pay for video and 44 percent for music. Information providers, however, may face more difficulties in converting their content into revenues. Only 30 percent said they would pay for business news, while less than one-in-five indicated that they would be willing to pay for international or national news, travel information or sports news. Interestingly, when asked why they are willing to pay for online content, 44 percent said that they ended up paying once a free trial lapsed, proving that many of the traditional techniques for gaining subscribers are valuable in the online world as well. More than half (55 percent) also said that they would pay if they believed the quality of the content was better online. And while mobile apps seem to be a runaway success, more than six-in-ten consumers said they were more likely to pay for content on their PC or laptop and only one-in-ten said they would pay for content on a tablet. This figure may rise as tablets get more widespread in the market. Of course, online subscribers also offer content providers with a new revenue stream in the form of customer data. In much the same way as advertisers (see pages 14/15), this rich source of data can often be collected and shared with other organizations that rely on trending and demographic data. A number of content providers are already looking at approaches for monetizing their ‘digital residue’ (see call out box on page 19) to drive new sources of revenue. Key Findings • Only 6 percent of consumers are willing to pay for full access to a website, a significant drop from 16 percent in 2010. • Almost three-quarters of respondents currently do not pay for any of the online content that they access. • If faced with a new ‘pay wall’, less than half of consumers say they would be willing to pay for continued access to content. 18 | T h e C o n v e r g e d L i f e st y l e © 2011 KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity.

  • 21. Recycling digital residue Whereas traditional data collection largely relies on ‘opt in’ tracking of customer activity, the collection of digital residue (analytic data collected on visitors to a website) often happens in the background and is rarely conducted with consent. Clearly, this strategy opens businesses and consumers up to a range of new challenges.Time and again through this survey, consumers have indicated a significant concern about the unapproved use of their personal data. For companies, taking stewardship of the data that makes up the digital residue requires serious planning and consideration; the collection and sale of digital residue has been the subject of much media scrutiny and legislative action in recent months. As a result, companies are exploring new approaches to collecting and using digital residue. MicroStrategy’s Gateway product, for example, gives brands direct access to consumers’ social graph on Facebook, allowing brands to personalize their pitches and conduct rich analytics on consumer preferences and trends. Building a strong and sustainable revenue stream continues to be the biggest challenge for most content providers,” believes Paul Wissmann, Head of Media, KPMG in the US. “There are a number of revenue models being tested in the market but – ultimately – it is the consumer that will decide what they are willing to pay for and when.

For mobile operators When it comes to consumer selection of mobile operators, it seems that the availability of popular devices and access to exclusive content mean less to consumers than the ‘basics’: coverage, service and price. The quality of an operator’s coverage (cited by 80 percent of respondents), the level of customer service (78 percent) and price (77 percent) were – almost universally – identified as the most important factors.

  • 23. Proving privacy credentials The vast majority of consumers are concerned about their data getting into the wrong hands. Around 90 percent of respondents indicated that they were either somewhat or very concerned about the potential for their credit card information to be intercepted from their mobile phone and an equal number voiced some level of concern about the threat of unauthorized parties accessing their personally identifiable information when using their mobile devices. But by developing, deploying and promoting robust security and privacy controls, organizations can instead build trust with consumers so as to encourage more sharing and allow more tailored service. From our experience, customers tend to have greater trust for organizations that meet or exceed regulations.This might include compliance to the EU Cookie Directive, or certification against international standards like ISO27001. Regardless, mobile service providers that can prove their credentials will ultimately gain more trust from customers and – if security is tightly managed – enhance their online reputations. than half of all respondents suggested that the opportunity to bundle or unbundle services (45 percent) was an important factor when changing mobile service providers. For mobile businesses the message seems clear: unique content may differentiate your service, but it will not drive customer acquisition in the same way that price will. And while many mobile service providers are using apps to drive revenue and customer retention, it seems most customers are simply not willing to pay for them.There is no doubt that consumers love apps: almost nine-in-ten report having downloaded at least one to their mobile device recently. But getting consumers to pay for the apps is anything but simple: 41 percent say they have never paid for an app (up from 36 percent in 2010) and a similar number (39 percent) say they paid for only one-in-four. However, it is also clear from evidence in the market that – when offered the right app at the right price – consumers are willing to pay. Rovio’s Angry Birds® recently surpassed the 500 million download mark. With new regulation and industry standards now coming to the fore, mobile operators will need to redefine their future business models,” says Carl Geppert. ”It is no longer a case of ‘if you build it they will come’.Today it is a matter of ‘if you build it who will come’ and – more importantly – who will pay? © 2011 KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity.

  • 24. For banks In our first Consumers and Convergence survey in 2006, the majority of respondents indicated that they did not have access to mobile banking services and – even if they did – were reluctant to utilize such a service.This has changed dramatically over the last 5 years, and now 62 percent of respondents are aware that their bank offers mobile banking services.What’s more, more than half of respondents to our survey indicated that they had used mobile banking services within the past 6 months, proving that consumers are very open to using their mobile devices to conduct every-day transactions. This is particularly true in developing world countries where vast portions of the population are ‘unbanked’ and have adopted mobile payments as a quick and reliable way to transfer money across geographies. In Africa, for example, Safaricom took advantage of rapid mobile adoption rates and a strong demand for safer, more convenient ways to send remittances by launching M-Pesa, a mobile payment service. By the start of 2011, M-Pesa had signed up more than 8 million customers in Kenya, equivalent to 40 percent of the adult population. One of the biggest barriers to the broader adoption of mobile banking seems to be concerns over security and privacy. Of the respondents who had not used mobile banking, almost half (48 percent) cited this as a barrier to their own personal adoption of mobile banking.This echoes the findings of a recent KPMG survey of banking executives (The Evolution of Mobile Payments) where 71 percent said that security was a leading concern when developing their mobile service. Trust also continues to be a major challenge for the financial services industry.When asked who they trust the most with their data, a majority (56 percent) of respondents identified their banks, but 30 percent said they trust secure payment sites such as PayPalTM rather than their traditional financial service provider. While many banks have launched mobile banking services, few are ready for the change that mobile payments will bring,” says David Sayer, Global Head of Retail Banking at KPMG. ”Banks will need to work with retailers, mobile operators and technology companies to develop a mobile payment solution to meet the growing demand of consumers. KEY FINDINGS • In 2011, more than half of all respondents said they had used some form of mobile banking in the past 6 months, an increase from around 40 percent in 2010 and just under 20 percent in 2008. • Thirty-eight percent were unaware that their bank provided mobile banking services. • Secure payment sites such as PayPalTM are a more preferred method of online payment than credit cards for consumers in Europe and the Middle East.

  • 25. (n = 612) (n = 2315) (n = 5021) 2008 2010 2011 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 19% 41% 52% BANK Have used mobile banking in the past 6 months Source: KPMG Consumers and Convergence 5, 2011 Interestingly, while security and privacy was – by far – the most-often cited reason for not using mobile banking in 2010, this year’s survey indicated that consumer behavior might also be impacted by device preference rather than security: more than half of those who do not use mobile banking say that they prefer to conduct their banking on their PC rather than mobile device. However, this data may also indicate that consumers might continue to pay their bills and conduct transfers on their PC, yet prefer to use their mobile devices for retail or other ‘on-the-go’ transactions. One should anticipate that – in our next Consumers and Convergence report – new technologies will be introduced that will further revolutionize the banking and payments industry. Near Field Communications (NFC) capabilities – a technology that enables contactless payments through mobile devices – are widely anticipated to be embedded in future smartphone releases, and m-Wallet initiatives have already been introduced by both traditional and non-traditional players alike. Clearly, much change is still ahead for the banking industry. Trust is a significant issue for banks as they move into the digital world,” says David Sayer. ”A growing number of banks are looking to social media to enhance their brand reputations and build stronger relationships with their customers. Online banking becomes more secure According to a recent study by Financial Fraud Action UK, the incidence of online banking fraud in the UK has significantly dropped in the past 2 years. Online fraud in the UK fell by 36 percent in 2010, and dropped a further 32 percent in the first half of 2011. This shows that banks have made significant progress in combating the risks associated with online banking and – if they are able to translate these gains into the mobile world – should be well placed to tackle mobile banking fraud as well. Of course, there is anecdotal evidence showing that part of this reduction may also be a result of the changing face of cyber-crime. Many of the more sophisticated organized crime syndicates seem to have set their sights on companies that hold large volumes of personal data and payment credentials, but do not maintain the same rigorous security of most banks.

  • 26. For television A growing number of consumers seem ready to jettison their traditional television services. Already, one- in-ten respondents told us that they do not currently subscribe to aTV service at home, and 52 percent said that they already either download content online for viewing later or access their favorite television shows through internet streaming services.This represents a great opportunity for programmers that are able to deliver video to their customers across a variety of mediums and devices. Our survey indicates that consumers are increasingly happy with the quality of online video content. In our survey in 2010, slightly more than 35 percent of respondents who were considering cutting their TV service cited the quality of internet content as the prime motivator; today, more than 60 percent say the same. Clearly, consumers have now experienced the improving quality of internet video options and – if offered the opportunity to gain greater convenience, price or quality – will likely move away from traditional television services in the future. As a case in point, 16 percent of those who currently haveTV services at home said that they planned to terminate their subscription within the next year. The emergence of alternatives to television further highlights consumers’ desire to access the content they want, when they want it, on their choice of devices,” comments Carl Geppert. ”This signals a significant shift in consumer behavior that may have far-reaching implications for video service providers. Key Findings • Sixteen percent of respondents that currently pay for television subscriptions say they will cancel their subscriptions within the next twelve months, with the most significant numbers in India and China. • More than 60 percent of consumers say they are happy with the quality of the video content they receive on the internet, up from around 35 percent in 2010. • Consumers are starting to see more value from their TV subscriptions, with only 40 percent citing value as a reason for discontinuing services versus more than 50 percent twelve months ago.

Pricing is clearly a driver in the move from cable subscriptions. But the survey shows that the majority of consumers may not be willing to pay for videos or programs accessed online either. Only 31 percent of respondents say they pay for videos they download for later viewing, and 41 percent pay for access to video streamed on the internet. Juxtaposed against the 84 percent that say they pay for their cableTV service, it becomes clear that driving revenues from online video will requireTV companies to rethink their business models. There is every indication that this trend will continue as seamless internet content viewing becomes a reality and content aggregation and navigation is simplified. However, pricing will also be a concern as these new business models develop.To maintain their dominance, existing providers will need to find ways to differentiate themselves, likely based on quality of content, ease of use and price.

  • 28. Tenkeytakeawaysforbusinesses There should be no doubt that technology is rapidly reforming the way businesses interact with their customers.Throughout our report, we have identified trends and shifts in consumer preferences that are already changing the very fundamentals of revenue creation and generating new opportunities for businesses to expand their footprint and drive exponential growth. At the same time, traditional business models – particularly in the music, publishing, advertising and broadcast television sectors – are fast evolving. Any business that is not already preparing for significant change will almost certainly find the next few years to be challenging, to say the least. So how will businesses adapt to the constantly changing environment? Based on our experience and findings in this report, we have identified ten key takeaways that will be critical to businesses across every sector and geography. 1. Privacy and trust: Organizations engaging with customers over digital channels must focus on building trust and ensuring the security and privacy of their customers’ personal data. Trust will soon become the most significant differentiator for online businesses. 2. Willingness to pay: Across all sectors, customers are looking for ways to reduce the cost of their technology without jeopardizing quality. From television service providers to mobile operators and ISPs, businesses will need to rethink their revenue models and price points. 3. Impact of mobile devices: From mobile coupons to location-based advertising, mobile devices offer a wealth of new opportunities to businesses. Far from simply ‘optimizing’ web assets for the mobile platform, businesses will need to rethink the way they interact with their customers. 4. Value of data: Ascustomersincreasinglystarttoexpectcustomizedservices,businesses willfocusmoreandmoreonidentifying,capturingandanalyzingcustomer datatogaingreaterinsightintotheirpreferencesanddemands.The challengewillbeinfindingtherightpricetobothappealtocustomersand achieveprofitability. 5. Owning the customer: As more technologies converge, businesses are fighting to decide who ‘owns’ the customer (and their data). The issue is particularly fraught in the banking and retail sectors, where businesses hope to establish themselves as a conduit to a range of other services. I am astonished when I see that data privacy and security is not only the most critical issue among consumers worldwide, but that year over year those concerns increase,” says TudorAw. “This is a key issue that should have been addressed by now. 26 | T H E C O N V E R G E D L I F E S T Y L E © 2011 KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity.

  • 29. The pace of change is quickening. Emerging technologies, shifting customer demands, evolving regulations and new revenue streams are all bursting onto the business scene at an astounding speed. KPMG firms understand the complexities of change.We work closely with business leaders, government agencies and technology providers to identify and develop new approaches to business that help our clients cut through the complexity of the change around them. And with hands-on experience across multiple industries and deep insight into consumer trends, we know what it takes to thrive in this rapidly changing and highly volatile environment. We encourage you to contact your local member firm or the authors of this study to learn more about KPMG firms’ service offerings and experience. 6. Multi-channel convergence: Many consumer-facing businesses are putting increased focus on integrating their various channels to create a consistent and compelling brand presence across multiple mediums. Multi-screen viewing will offer new opportunities to converge messaging for businesses. 7. Mobile payments: The introduction of mobile payments will fundamentally redraw the relationship between banks, retailers, telecom providers and device manufacturers. Adoption by retailers and banks will only increase as more customers demand the convenience of mobile payments. 8. Social media: There is ample evidence that businesses utilizing social media to communicate with customers are building stronger, more trusting relationships. With consumer use outpacing business use, many organizations will need to play catch-up if they hope to meet the expectations of their consumers. 9. Online viewing: The move towards viewing video content online is changing the business model not only for content providers, but also for advertisers and technology companies. Businesses operating in this arena would be wise to rethink their mix of traditional versus online offerings. 10. Meeting customer demand: The converged lifestyle has empowered consumers who are increasingly vocal about their preferences and demands. Businesses that are able to gauge and respond to this evolving consumer relationship will ultimately build stronger relationships and gain critical trust with their customers. WhyKPMG?
